Paphos Aims to Become a Religious Tourism Destination by 2026

Paphos is aiming to establish itself as a destination for religious tourism by 2026, leveraging its participation in European programs and the activity of local stakeholders. These European programs focus on developing and promoting sustainable, digital, and innovative religious tourism products. Paphos has made significant progress in areas such as highlighting the Apostle Paul's footsteps route, which it seeks to register with the Council of Europe. This effort is expected to enhance Paphos's image as an important religious center and attract pilgrims from around the world.
